Subject: Heat's off man who packed heat at Obama rally
Written By: LyricBoy on 07/17/09 at 6:00 pm
Well the verdict is in. One of the local guys here in the Picksburgh area, Mr. John Noble, back during the presidential elections, decided that he wanted to make a statement at an O'Bama/Biden rally in Beaver PA.

So he went to the rally, holding a Bible in one hand and packing a pistol in an open holster. He was immediately arrested and was put on trial this week. (LyricBoy Note: In Pennsylvania it is completely legal to carry a firearm in a visible holster, with no permits or licenses needed, unless of course you are a convicted felon).
Interestingly, the State Cop who arrested him testified in the witness box that Mr. Noble was a gentleman at all times, did not start a ruckus, and was not disorderly.
The jury acquitted him of all charges. :)
Now... while I fully support the legality of what he did, it was still immensely ill-advised. :-\\

One way to get Obama to take your gun away is to wear it to an Obama rally.
Yes, Mr. Noble, you made your statement: You're a crazy dumbass.

Here, you can keep the Bible. Try to read something other than Revelation for once.
